LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A California parole board decided to deny Lyle Menendez parole after he has spent nearly 30 years in prison for the 1989 murders of his parents, José and Kitty Menendez, when he was 21 years old.

Lyle and his brother Erik Menendez were convicted of first-degree murder in 1996 during a retrial and sentenced to life in prison without parole. After a years-long battle, the Menendez brothers were resentenced to 50 years to life with the possibility of parole. Due to that resentencing, they are now eligible for parole hearings under youth offender parole laws.

Erik's parole hearing was on Thursday and he was denied parole. The parole board said he will be re-eligible for parole again in three years or can petition to advance, meaning he could face a parole board sooner
